Fuzzy Logic Operation Control for PV-Diesel-Battery Hybrid Energy System

ABSTRACT

In this paper an operational control technique, based on using the fuzzy logic controller (FLC), is developed and applied to a proposed Photovoltaic-Diesel-Battery (PVDB) hybrid system. The proposed scheme is modeled and simulated using MATLAB-SIMULINK and FUZZY toolbox. The FLC is designed, to work simultaneously with the commonly used ON-OFF controller, for optimizing the operation of the PVDB system under different insolations. Where, the proposed system becomes able to reliably satisfy the system’s load and, also, to optimize the battery and diesel operation at all working conditions. The results indicated the high capability of the FLC in controlling the system.
